What is a trigger warning??

I know this is not going to be populair, because if there's one thing that unifies you guys more than anything, it's patriotism...

But both sides are batshit bonkers.

It's either having the option to identify yourself as a genderfluid mermaid on your government ID on the left or "being gay is a choice" on the right.

Everyone who walks into the US should become a citizen regardless or every immigrant should be put back on their boat/car/train/segway to their own country in less than 3 minutes.

There's no moderation. All these fringe cases get magnified in the media and catered to by both parties. It's seems absolutely bonkers from the outside looking in.

That said, just to spice it up a little... I'd swing more to the left than the right, if only for economic reasons. The fact that people could bust their asses on two jobs and still barely scrape by... That you could truly believe that trickle-down-economics work... That you have to throw yourself in tons of debt to go to college...Or that you could be working the rest of your life to pay of medical bills is just such a surreal thought. It's one of the most inhumane things I can imagine for a country that's as prosperous as the US. Especially if it's under the guise of "I'm not going to college/hospital etc, so I don't want to pay any taxes for that."

The example I once gave is if 100,000 people come in fine. 1,000,000 every year is a little more pressure on the system. 10,000,000 or 100,000,000 would not be feasible. There needs to be a line somewhere. Just let me know what is a good number.

That would keep out criminals and gang members.

That’s fact.

I obviously don't have a number. I reckon someone with a Phd in a relevant field could say something more sensible about that than some guy who's rambling on a Packers forum. My point is that there's a lot more cencensus between people, but both partys seem to be on the far reaches of the spectrum. Maybe that's a bit of an open door, but it's a pretty alien concept to a huge portion of the rest of the world.
